This year's Folk Week was the first time I got to eat in the Magpie in 8 consecutive years of going to the festival - just happened to be looking for food and passing when it wasn't raining and the queue was only at the top of the steps. I like fish but not batter so really appreciated the choices at the Magpie (West Cliff) and Mr Chips (East Cliff).

PS There appeared to be a designated queuing area on the pavement opposite, and there was a suggestion in the newsletter that a nice black and white zebra crossing might help to manage the queue's transition from the waiting area to the entrance.
